Trip report · Jon Hall · 2010Taman Negara in 2010: finding a Malayan Tapir from the Kumbang hideIn 2010 Jon Hall spent a weekend in Taman Negara to try again for the Malayan Tapir he had missed in 2004. He travelled by bus and taxi from Kuala Lumpur, booked the Kumbang hide in advance and sat up two nights, and was rewarded with a male tapir at the salt lick for over half an hour. The report covers the quick route from Kuala Lumpur, the hide booking and what else turned up. Trip report · Jon Hall · 2004Peninsular Malaysia in 2004: Taman Negara, Bukit Fraser and Bukit Larut, a mammal-watching trip reportIn September 2004 Jon Hall spent time in Peninsular Malaysia during the early rainy season, hoping above all for a Malayan Tapir. He watched from the Kumbang hide in Taman Negara, visited the Gua Telinga bat cave, found Siamang at Bukit Fraser, spotlit civets and a gliding colugo, and saw Selangor Silvery Langurs at Kuala Selangor. The tapir did not show, but the report is full of practical notes on where and when to look.
